I don’t know about you, but when I see turnips at the store, I usually turnip my nose to them (see what I did there?). Turnips are one of those vegetables that looks sort of strange sitting there in their raw, awkward state. Not to mention, they can be intimidating. Don’t you agree?

I’ve only ever cooked them once before and the resulting bitter veggie was enough for me to never want to cook them again.

Hola! We are back from Costa Rica and I hope y’all haven’t forgotten about me because I haven’t forgotten about you! In fact, I thought about you a lot during my time in Central America – when I was eating incredible food and when I was hiking through the cloud forest, I thought about how much I couldn’t wait to share my experiences with y’all! So, on that note, it’s good to be back. 🙂 I can’t wait to share some of our pictures – which I promise to soon!

I’m a huge fan of corn (and no, I don’t mean the band Korn). I think it stems from early childhood when my grandpa would bring over fresh corn straight from his garden and it tasted like nothing else on the planet. Oh man my grandpa could grow and cook a mean corn on the cob.

“The trick is to only boil it for 2 minutes tops,” he would always say. “People cook it too long and it gets mushy.”

I had to go to the dentist this past Thursday. 😦 No, it wasn’t just a regular cleaning/check-up – that happened a few weeks ago. This appointment was to “fix” a tooth. My dentist wasn’t quite sure what was going on with it. He said it was either partially fractured or I had a nasty cavity. In this situation neither outcome is ideal, but if I had pick, I was hoping for the cavity.
